The Emerging Markets Institute at the Samuel Curtis Johnson Graduate School of Management at Cornell University has announced the winners of its fourth annual research grant competition. Faculty and Ph.D. students were invited to submit proposals for academic research on the growing role of emerging markets in the global economy. The goal of the competition was to produce articles that could be published in the top-tier, refereed academic journals in a variety of management disciplines.

Submissions were evaluated on relevance, quality, and viability. The competition winners are:

“We have seen an improvement in quality every year we have held this competition. We are very pleased with these submissions,” said Andrew Karolyi, Academic Director of the Emerging Markets Institute. “Through the generous gifts of two alumni, Roberto Canizares BS ’71, MBA ’74 and James Morgan BS ’60, MBA’63, we have been able to expand this program and offer even more funds for research”.

Established in 2010, the Emerging Markets Institute was founded at Cornell University’s Samuel Curtis Johnson Graduate School of Management to promote the research and study of emerging economies. The Institute provides a private forum for lively exchange among corporate leaders from emerging and developed markets and leading researchers. We are building a highly regarded academic program for the study of emerging markets—with the breadth, depth, and quality of education needed to effectively prepare business leaders for success.
